Testimonials from past undergraduate students: 

 

FBI-Testimonial---Inthu.png

"The FBIP really solidified my choice in not just being a mechanical engineer but a biomedical engineer as well. I got to see how in the real world I would get to use both degrees to solve problems and how both perspectives … feed into each other. I got to take the knowledge that I gained from the program and put it back into the project in order to see further progress and success. And that was really satisfying."

"One of the great things about working on a project that has a real-world impact is that I get to have this feeling that I am actually making a difference and that the results of my project will actually be implemented into real life clinical settings in particular low resource settings".

"I think the community is the best part of the Frugal Biomedical Program. Having an opportunity to meet people from other programs who are doing different projects has been a really great experience for me".
